What You Need
•
Ingredients
•
4 1/2 teaspoons
•
active dry yeast (two packets)
•
1 tablespoon
•
sugar
•
1 1/2 cups
•
water
•
3 1/2 cups
•
bread flour
•
1 1/4 teaspoon
•
salt
•
3/4 teaspoon
•
balsamic vinegar
•
Equipment
•
Dutch oven
•
large mixing bowl
•
Measuring cups and spoons
•
Microwave
•
Instructions
•
Proof the yeast: In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer put the yeast, sugar, and water and let
•
it sit.
•
Preheat the oven and the Dutch oven: Heat the oven to 450°F. Put a Dutch oven (or one of these
•
alternatives) in to warm as the oven heats.
•
Add most of the flour, salt, and vinegar to the yeast and knead for 5 to 7 minutes: Now that the
•
yeast has had a few minutes to bubble up, add 3 cups of the flour as well as the salt and vinegar and
•
beat for several minutes with the paddle. Add the last 1/2 cup of flour and switch to the dough hook
•
and beat for seven minutes. Alternately, knead vigorously for five minutes, or until the dough becomes
•
extremely elastic. This will still be a wet dough, but not goopy. The dough will clear the sides of the
•
bowl but still stick to the bottom.
•
Shape the dough into a ball and rise in the microwave for 25 seconds: Lightly grease a
•
microwave-safe bowl with vegetable oil and transfer the bread dough to it, rolling it in the oil.
•
Cover the bowl with a very wet towel. Cover the whole thing with a dry towel and put in the microwave.
•
Microwave on HIGH for 25 seconds.
•
Let the dough rest in the microwave, then microwave again. Let rest in the microwave for about five
•
minutes. Microwave on HIGH for another 25 seconds, then remove. Let rest and rise for another
•
15 minutes.
•
Shape the dough and move to the preheated pan. Shape into a ball and plop into the preheated pan
•
.
•
Quickly slash the top with a knife. Cover and bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the cover and
•
bake for another 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature hits 210°F.
